Tanya + Michael wedding - Amish Acres, Nappanee

Oh what a GLORIOUS day Tanya and Michael's wedding day was! These two are in our small group and we just love them. It's been so, so fun getting to know them and helping them prepare for their wedding day! 

They got married at Amish Acres in Nappanee, Indiana and every time I shoot a wedding there I love the charm and feel the venue gives. Michael grew up on a dairy farm and getting married in the big red barn was perfection. 

Tanya's already told me that she's in love with her images and when she looks at them it takes her right back to her wedding day.. always one of my goals! 

Such gorgeous, gorgeous ladies!

I LOVE first looks between the bride and groom prior to the ceremony! Most of the time the groom give way more of a reaction than if he sees his bride walking down the isle. It also allows myself and 2nd shooter to get up close and personal to capture the emotion of both the bride and groom. I LOVE first looks! Can't say enough positive about them!

My second shooter and I always take a step back and let the bride and groom have a moment alone together before we start portraits. It's a quiet moment of a busy day that is so, so sweet!

Pretty much this groomsman's vertical hip-bump almost took out a bridesmaid during their introductions!

Michael planted a big ol' kiss right as they were announced.. perfect!

​Sister speaches get me EVERY time! Every time!

Well lookie who Tanya's dancing with!!! My ladies were at this wedding! And they were invited to two of my weddings in a row.. so pretty much they assume they are coming with me to every wedding I shoot to dance to the Wobble and Cuban Shuffle. 

AND Joya is by Alexis whom was a December 2015 bride and Carey is dancing with my Em whom's wedding is in 4 DAYS!!!!  Line up all those dh brides!

​Love a dancing bride!

Grabbed the bride and groom for some sunset images.. always some of my favorites from the day!!!!

Such a beautiful day! SO glad to be apart of it!
